Joan Roca

From El Celler de Can Roca we have always tried to combine fidelity to our origins with a type of cuisine that seeks excellence through the refinement of concepts and the highest levels of professionalism. We apply scientific advances and use new techniques that awaken gastronomic and sensorial emotions. These efforts have allowed us to occupy a privileged place in the panorama of international cuisine. That yearning to cross the frontiers of knowledge and that willingness to collaborate also characterize the PM Campus of International Excellence, which responds to a similar challenge. In representation of El Celler de Can Roca, I received a degree of Doctor Honoris Causa from the UdG in tribute to ongoing work leading to a goal we share: to remain deeply rooted in the territory but to share resources of global importance beyond our frontiers.
